Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour

- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup low-fat buttermilk
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 large egg whites

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Spray an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, whisk together the yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 4
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the low-fat buttermilk, honey, egg whites, and unsweetened applesauce until well combined.
Step 5
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a dense cornbread.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula to ensure even baking.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Remove from the oven and let the cornbread cool in the pan for about 5 minutes.
Step 9
Cut into squares and serve warm. Enjoy your low-fat classic cornbread as a side dish or a snack!
